Coldplay - Speed Of Sound Lyrics

Speed Of Sound

How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go
If you never tried then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on this side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get
Is a chance you seize
How long I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things that the right way up

All that noise, all that sound
All those pieces that I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds come flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China were all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
All the land that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise, all that sound
All those pieces that I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds come flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

All those signs I knew what they meant
Somethings you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
Ooh
Words go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
